Report: McMahon spoils WWE fans like kids…

Leave a comment

Here are the results of last night’s RAW with McMahon’s “$1 Million Dollar Mania” proving that this is the real deal, the people answering Vince’s phonecalls on last night’s show weren’t hired actors, they were real people like us winning real money from Vince, it’s real, indeed:

Honestly, Vince doesn’t care about his fans or the wrestlers that perform the shows. He only cares about promoting his company…WWE, that’s it.

Fans at last night’s RAW were hating this “Million Dollar thing”, some of the audience were booing, chanting “Boring”, and chanting “We want Wrestling” everytime Vince came on stage to give out money to people sitting at home.

It kind of sucks for the people sitting in the arena witnessing Vince giving away money to people at home watching RAW.

This thing is gonna fail, just like Vince’s storyline where he fakes his death failed too.

BREAKING NEWS: Stuntman dies in John Woo action film…

Leave a comment

First a stuntman was killed in “The Dark Knight”, and here’s the next one…in John Woo’s next historical epic film titled “Red Cliff”, a 23 year old stuntman was killed when a small boat was ablazed and collided into a much larger boat as film makers had intended for the script, but the fire quickly raged out and engulfed both ships.

John Woo was not on set when the incident happened, he was out promoting “Red Cliff”, he immediately rushed back to Beijing to the filming location to check on it. The movie “Red Cliff” he is currently filming, a Chinese language foreign based film is high up to an $80 million budget.

John Woo has finally returned to his roots making Chinese films after years of making films for Americans with such American films he directed like “Mission Impossible 2”, “Face/Off”, and “Broken Arrow”.

Rest in peace to the stunt man, that’s terrible. Making real stunts in action movies is dangerous these days. Do not try this at home folks.

The film makers will do anything to make a movie realistic and these stuntmen are brave enough to risk their lives for it.

Report: The Smurfs coming to the big screen in live action movie…

1 Comment

Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation are bringing the hit cartoon TV series “The Smurfs” to a live action and CGI animated movie at the same time. The TV series was one of the longest running cartoon series in history by the Hannah-Barbera company. Jordan Kerner will be producing the film.

While the film will be live action, my guess on how they’re doing this is that the Smurfs characters will be the only ones animated by CGI effects. Smurfs cartoon characters into our real life world, similar to what the “Garfield” live action movie did.

Variety Reports:

It’s gonna be interesting to see who they’re gonna get for voiceovers for Papa Smurf, Gargamel, and Smurfette.

I’d say get Jack Black for Gargamel and maybe Robin Williams for Papa Smurf.

Report: Lionel Richie defends adopted daughter Nicole Richie at TV Land Awards…

10 Comments

Nicole Richie maybe the worlds most hated celebrity these days, but Lionel Richie don’t think so. At the TV Land Awards, the former Commodores singer accepted his award for the “icon” honor, when he took the stage to give his speech, he completely ignored the many years that he spent on music and expressed his love for his adopted daughter Nicole Richie, the star of the TV reality series “The Simple Life”.

Lionel Richie said, “Just forget about surviving 40 years in the music business, just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle and a half.”

He said that as a piece of advice for all parents out there.

The Associated Press reports:

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080609/D916ONTO0.html

It’s nice to see him realize that family is more important than a stupid award. I bet he went on there just to defend his daughter.

I’m a fan of Lionel Richie though, I love him in the Commodores and enjoy his solo stuff too. I saw Lionel Richie in concert once a long time ago, the guy’s a hell of a performer.

It’s pretty sweet he’s coming here instead of the Times Union Center!!!! We get to see the man a little closer at SPAC since the place is pretty small.

I’m sure Dylan is familiar with Saratoga Springs, he used to play here at small coffeehouses long ago when he was just starting out in his career, Caffe Lena was one of the venues he started out when Lena Spencer was alive.

Bo Diddley fuckin’ rocks!!!!

Leave a comment

Man, fuck Elvis, the Beatles and Bob Dylan. I never really listened to Bo Diddley too much hardily in my life to be honest, but after buying a “Definitive Collection” a greatest hits compilation of Bo Diddley’s music, I’ve been listening to it all day!!!! No wonder he is considered a rock god, ’cause that what he is! His music fuckin’ smokes! Glad to finally start getting into his music!

Report: The White Stripes reunion at Raconteurs show in Detroit last night…

6 Comments

At last night’s Racontuers show in Detroit, Michigan…Meg White the drummer of the White Stripes, Jack and Meg White’s longtime band, made a surprising appearance at the Raconteurs show. While Jack and Meg reunited last night, they didn’t play music together on stage. Meg just appeared to say “hi” to the White Stripes fans who were at the Raconteurs show.

Billboard reports:

While it is pretty cool to see Jack and Meg back together again, I would still be pretty pissed off leaving the Racontuers concert that Jack and Meg didn’t perform. I’m sure the audience at the show last night were pissed off too.

The Raconteurs should have let Jack and Meg play at least one song at the encore, fuck the Raconteurs, bunch of douchebags.

Meg just disrespected the audience by teasing them that the White Stripes may perform but didn’t. I’m sure the White Stripes fans are hating on them for it right about now. Just showing up on stage to say “hi” was pretty pointless if you’re not there to perform. What a way to show off your ego, Meg.
